Doggy Day Care in Dedham

“If I could imagine a perfect situation for my new puppy, Greta, Sarah’s home would be it. She is a true dog lover and immediately bonded with Greta (and us!) when we first met. She has also been incredibly helpful in continuing Greta’s training, even when we’re not around, which has made such a positive impact on her development. Greta gets so excited to go to daycare and always comes home happily exhausted. We love seeing the photos of her playing with Sarah’s dogs, it’s clear she’s having a great time, and it’s also helped her learn how to socialize and interact with other dogs. We feel completely at ease knowing Greta is in Sarah’s care, it truly feels like she has a second family. We couldn’t recommend Sarah more highly for any of your dog-sitting needs!”

“Great experience working with Kayla! Kind and courteous, ia great communicator, and committed to giving my dog Eddie a happy and active day. Also, her goldens are adorable with beautiful temperaments, making them wonderful playmates. I’m sure Eddie will be visiting Kayla again!”

“Jamie was great! Was flexible with an early pickup, communicated quickly, and took good care of our pup. Benji immediately made himself at home and seemed sad to go, he enjoyed his time with Jamie and Sammie.”

“I highly recommend Ling & Ye...they were fantastic! Our schedule was more dynamic than we had intended and they were very flexible. Our boy Riley, 1-year old Golden, had great time and can't wait to get back to see his new friends!”

“Our Cockapoo pup had a wonderful time with Jess and her family. She kept me up to date on Coco’s activities through the day with pictures and communication. Will definitely use Jess to board Coco in the future.”

About: As dedicated pet owners, for the past two years, my partner, and I have cared for our two beloved cats, Sylvia, and Meatball, and our playful puppy, Saturn, a pitbull boxer mix who loves making new furry friends. We pride ourselves are being detail, oriented, and committed to ensuring that every pet in our care feels at home with constant updates and being always available to answer questions and offer constant reassurance. We are at adult only home with everything that you may need including bowls, toys, and a crate. We will follow all instructions to T and make sure that, your fur baby is in loving and capable hands. My partner and I are typically available on the weekends unless otherwise. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so if needed for a day or for any other services, including walking, I would be available. My partner and I like to stick to a routine for all of our pets And in the care of another fur baby we would ideally like to stick to the same routine that we implemented in our home. In terms of behavior, we are willing to help pets with basic commands, while, watching out for any unusual signs of the pets behavior and notifying the parent ahead of time just ensure that everyone is on the same page. When going outside for exercise, we will ensure that your dog is in a close space unless you stay otherwise just for safety and security.

About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.

“Saige had a great time with Cheryl! Very flexible and a reliable dog sitter”

“Julie and Patrick have been unbelievable with Annie. They provide a very calming environment for her which is exactly what she needs. Annie is a recent rescue and has some trust issues with people. I cannot think of anyone we would rather leave Annie with as we know she will be welcomed and well looked after.”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, and they have always been one of my major passions. From small animals, to dogs and cats, to chickens, livestock, and horses - I've seen it all! I spent some time as a animal science/pre-vet student before Covid, and worked for a horse breeder/trainer for 3 years where I coordinated daily care for our animals, as well as helped client's with training and lessons while taking a break from university. I have since graduated and been immersed in the world of financial services for the last few years, and work from home along with my father. We both enjoy walking, and live right on the Blue Hills Skyline trail, so can go for a quick loop or 9 mile hike out of our back door. We also have a gated portion of the yard off of the patio, as well as a large front grass field that are all welcome to be taken advantage of by our four-legged friends. We lost our family dog about 2 years ago and enjoy having a furry friend in the house, but are not ready for the heartbreak that eventually comes along with bringing another dog into our family. We would love to host your dog as a part of our family to enjoy our attention, care, and access to great outdoor amenities for a dog that likes to explore, sniff, or go on hikes. Also great for a dog that enjoys having a fenced area. I work from home every day of the week, so I don't have any requirements to be out of the house. I tend to wake up on the earlier side and enjoy going for a walk, as well as a walk around lunchtime and the evening. I am consistent with whatever routine your dog requires, and like to cater towards what makes them the happiest and most at home. Your dog will have nearly 24/7 attention, and I am very glad to provide! We have a number of options in our home depending on your comfortability with your dogs access to the home/garden. We have a fenced area off of the side of the house with an attached mudroom (if dogs prefer to sleep alone, this can be a good option), as well as a large front field and access to the Blue Hills hiking trails. The kitchen is gated, so we tend to spend time in this space with the dog to keep an eye on them. We have a large crate available and are happy to set up your dogs crate if needed. We are happy to allows the dogs on the living room couch, but can keep them off if you prefer them to keep their feet on the floor - we have a large variety of dog beds as well throughout the house. The dogs are welcome in the bed/bedroom depending on your preferences, just let me know where you would like them to stay. There are currently no animals in the home.

“Debbie is absolutely amazing! We booked with her on short notice for doggy daycare, and we are so grateful to have found her. She has a wonderful fenced outdoor area for the dogs to play in, and an equally pet-friendly home. Debbie followed my dog's feeding and medication schedule perfectly, and she was very flexible and understanding when we needed to shift our pick up and drop off times on the second day. She also sent pictures and updates and was awesome with communication during the stay so that we were able to rest assured our dog was doing well. Don't hesitate for a minute to book with Debbie - you will not be disappointed! :)”

“Mokeisha was great at communicating and kept us updated with pictures and messages while watching Athena. We appreciate the care she provided.”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly enjoys caring for pups of all breeds and personalities. Throughout my life I've been so fortunate to care for three dogs from the days we first brought them home as puppies to their last days. I feel very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages. Spending time with and caring for my friends' and family's dogs has always been a big part of my life. I treat every dog like my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I offer dog walking, daycare (at your home or mine), and boarding (again at your home or mine), and regardless of your pup's needs they’ll be in caring hands. I look forward to taking care of your dog! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I can easily accommodate daytime walks, playtime, and love to have a dog-friend close by while I am working. Whether it's for day care or an overnight, how I care for your dog can be tailored to your dog's needs. I have frequently stayed overnight at the owner's house, including places pretty far from my own home. Several of the photos in my profile are with dogs that I cared for while traveling! Your dogs' safety, health, physical activity needs, dietary needs, and need for snuggling (or need for space if you have a less social or timid pup) are really what's most important. In my home you are welcome to bring a crate, your dog's favorite toys or bed, food/snacks, as well as anything else your dog might need. We also have a very large sectional that we bought with dog-snuggling in mind, but if you have any rules with your dog that are important for me to reinforce, I will absolutely respect that.

“Eric is very flexible and easy to communicate with. Beautiful home and yard for pups to play all day.I like that he does have over some other well behaved pups so that mine can socialize. Would trust him with my babies anytime. I get daily updates and photos which are greatly appreciated.”

About: I have a 9 year old Shih Tzu, her name is Zola. She loves people and other animals. I am currently home more then expected and would love to help other working people with their pets. If your pet needs a certain food or specific routine, let me know and I am happy to help maintain the normal. When I first got my dog, it was so hard to leave her during the day when I went to work. She was so small, and I didn't want her to be lonely. I understand how hard it is to leave a fur child and want to help others be comfortable knowing they are being looked after during the day or overnight. I will love them like my own. I am currently working from home and have ability to 'schedule' accordingly to cover dog needs - walking or playing and to schedule time as needed to walk near by dogs as well. I do not have a fenced yard. I walk with a leash. I can 'fence' in a small area for free time in the yard. I also can let dogs out on the deck and use 'gates' to block stairs. I care for all pets the same as I do my own. I work remote and have a flexible schedule allowing me to play with and walk your pups at various times. And a lot of time for snuggles and petting I have a good size deck with fenced entrances for general relaxation outside. My yard is not fully fenced but a good size for small dog play

“Blair was everything we could have hoped for! She took great care of our dog Leo and took him on 2 walks during his day with her. She was super responsive and sent great photos. We will definitely continue to use Blair for any daycare needs in the future!”
